UNTIL IT’S DONE, Ep. 4: Sylvia Rivera

In the 1970s, queer New Yorkers had been pushed to the margins of NYC. Our trans neighbors faced immense cruelty. But in Sylvia Rivera, they found a champion.

As we combat Trump’s politics of darkness, her legacy can light the path forward.

baseball is the best preparation for death because it does not come with a clock that tells you when your suffering will end one way or the other

Not quite sure who I want to win tonight's ALDS game since they are both border towns and therefore honorary Canadians. But whatever. BRING IT! @bluejays.com #wantitall

Reporting live from Chicago, there’s no “hellscape” I’d rather be in.

Pretty much my reaction when anyone at the office suggests I use ChatGPT or some AI image generator. Good for him.

Remarkable!

Keifer Sutherland is a grandson of Tommy Douglas, literally the greatest Canadian. It was thanks to Tommy that we have universal healthcare in Canada. This is the story Tommy would tell which resonates today just as it did 80 years ago.

Just had a by-election in Milton. Turnout was a pathetic 17%. One person pointed out that there were only 3 polling locations, none of them convenient for someone who doesn't drive. Made me think yeah, this might be how we keep electing people who drive everywhere and don't give a s**t abt transit.

I just love how Hazel is such a trooper, putting up with getting soaked

Always follow the money

Oop! I meant 'Terry' (the other Terry Fox movie)

Fun Fact: my sister was part of the team that won a Gemini Award for erasing Shawn Ashmore's leg in The Terry Fox Story. During the awards ceremony while waiting to get into the reception (which had a cash bar btw because, Canada), she was serenaded by Walter Gretsky.

The suburbs will be the death of us all. Unfortunately, politicians have come to realize that they can win elections relying solely on the suburban and rural vote, and throw city dwellers to the wolves.

Also, they should probably consider what downtown city traffic and parking would look like if every single Skip and Doordash delivery was made by car.

Part of the problem is that the media constantly portrays all e-bike riders as lunatic food delivery workers mowing pedestrians down on the sidewalk, with no acknowledgement of the middle-aged, overweight women with bad knees like me who are a not insignificant segment of e-bike users.

Housing policy is climate policy.

Love this movie. Not one of my *all time* top 5, but definitely a top 5 Jack Black performance at the very least.

As the provincial government looks at banning automated speed cameras, a new report shows that vehicles belonging to cabinet ministers have been regularly caught by automated speed cameras, in some cases going 30kph over the speed limit.
